Stephanie over at the Writers Cocoon is giving away a copy of her book A Bitch Named Karma (I WAN'T IT) she needs five more followers by today, so if you could please hop over and help me out, and her with her awesome novel I'd appreciate it!! ;)

May your weekend be filled with many inspired works! Just to help with the inspiration here are a few quotes and inspiring sentences from Writer's Little Instruction Book by Paul Raymond Martin

1. Trust your hunches

"trust your hunches... hunches are usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. Warning! Do not confuse your hunches with wishful thinking. This is the road to disaster." - Dr. Joyce Brothers

Enjoy the movie. I'm not sure if I'll get around the reading the book. My YA TBR pile is tumbling (and I own a lot of the books already--so I have to read them first). I'm going to reread one of my Robin Cook books soon (from my medical thriller days), which will be the first non YA book I've read in 2 + years. ;)

Fine advice! I've wrestled with some of these issues with my novel currently on submission. My critique group gave me all sorts of feedback - some of it made sense but a few things didn't feel right. I had to trust my gut.

I like the last quote. We must get our manuscript to the point that it's tight, but there's always room for improvement. It's never really done, is it?

I started a free, online Christian girls magazine called Inspired. I was wondering if you were interested in subscribing or joining the staff. For more info, check out our website: www.inspiredmagazine.webs.com
